- Egon Spengler: [squishy footsteps] ...
- Ray Stantz: Oh, Spengler, are you okay?
- Egon Spengler: [groan] I feel like the floor of a taxi cab.
- [footsteps: 2 instances, debris shifting]
- Ray Stantz: Venkie!
- Peter Venkman: Yeah. I'm all right.
- Ray Stantz: Thank God. Dana, are you okay?
- Dana Barrett: I'm all right.
- Ray Stantz: You okay?
- Peter Venkman: Fine... Go check on that little guy. Where's he at?
- Dana Barrett: Oh, Louis!
- Winston Zeddemore: We'll find him.
- [rapid squishy footsteps: 3 instances]
- Peter Venkman: So... about us? Where do we go from here?
- Dana Barrett: [gooey squish, chuckle] First thing... I need a shower... and then we'll talk.
- Peter Venkman: I could use one, too. I think I know just the place...
- Dana Barrett: Oh, right... [sigh] My apartment's destroyed, isn't it?
- Peter Venkman: Yeah, but so is my place. I know a nice hotel, though.
- Dana Barrett: [giggle] You're incorrigible... [moist lip smack]
- Egon Spengler: Here he is. [debris shifting]
- Louis Tully: What happened?
- Egon Spengler: [pause, clatter, grapple, beep, beep] He'll be all right.
- Louis Tully: Boy, the superintendent's gonna be pissed.
- Ray Stantz: Are you okay?
- Louis Tully: Who are you guys?
- Ray Stantz: We're the Ghostbusters?
- Louis Tully: [pause] Who does your taxes?
- [chuckles: 3 instances, squishy footsteps: 4 instances]
- Ray Stantz: [footsteps] You know, Mr. Tully, you are a most fortunate individual!
- Louis Tully: I know. [footsteps]
- Ray Stantz: [footsteps] You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional crossrip since the disappearance of Miracle Mesa in 1895!
- Louis Tully: [footsteps] Felt great!
- Egon Spengler: [footsteps, beep, beep] We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue.
- Louis Tully: Okay... [footsteps]
- Winston Zeddemore: [footsteps, pause, chuckle] I love this town!
- Guardian: [rapid footsteps on stairs] You guys did it? It's over?
- Peter Venkman: I'd say so... [pause] Or maybe it's just beginning... Depends on what you're talking about.
- Dana Barrett: [giggle] Stop it...
- Guardian: Okay... [footsteps] Can you give me a straight answer?
- Winston Zeddemore: I think we did it.
- Guardian: Great. [sigh] One less thing to worry about.
- Dana Barrett: Wait, you still need to find the cultists behind this.
- Peter Venkman: Huh?
- Dana Barrett: When I was possessed... When Louis and I came up here to... you know... [sigh] Open the gate... [pause] There were like... I don't know a dozen people in robes, They're the ones who tied us in the shed. They said they'd come back for us.
- Egon Spengler: You are fortunate they didn't kill you after you served your purpose.
- Peter Venkman: Yeah, let's not scare her, Egon. I think she's a pretty rough day already...
- Guardian: What'd these cultists look like?
- Dana Barrett: I... I can't recall. It's like trying to remember a dream when you've woken up... It's all hazy. I do recall someone with yellow eyes, though... and I think he was wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
- Winston Zeddemore: That fruitcake from the stairwell!
- Guardian: I recall a Hawaiian shirt among the crowd that slipped out when the barrier went down.
- Ray Stantz: We should find him. He might be able to lead us to the other cultists. Shut them down and that limits the likelihood of Gozer ever being able to return in our lifetimes.
- Winston Zeddemore: [scoff] What do you mean "return"? We blew her up.
- Ray Stantz: No... [chuckle] A Class Seven entity like that? No, death is only temporary for those sorts.
- Winston Zeddemore: You got to be kidding me.
- Ray Stantz: I wish I were.
- Louis Tully: Huh?
- Egon Spengler: What?
- Louis Tully: Did you say something?
- Egon Spengler: [pause] No...
- Louis Tully: I could have sworn- [pause, footsteps] There it goes again.
- Winston Zeddemore: I think he's suffering from... what was that again? Post-possession... something.
- Egon Spengler: Post-possession mania. [footsteps, clatter, beep, beep] PKE reading are still quite elevated.
- Louis Tully: Huh? Who is that?
- Ray Stantz: There's no one there...
- Dana Barrett: No... I hear it, too. Voices. Lots of them...
- Egon Spengler: We should get them to the lab.
- Peter Venkman: Egon? [pause] The lab?
- Egon Spengler: ...A lab... [pause, beep, beep] Huh?
- Ray Stantz: PKE is going off-the charts.
- Winston Zeddemore: What's that mean?
- Ray Stantz: Something else is happening.
- Dana Barrett: Something is coming.
- Louis Tully: Not something... Someone. [footsteps] There!
- Peter Venkman: The park? What about it?
- Ray Stantz: [footsteps, pause] Hey, I never noticed it but from here, the pathways in the park look like something...
- Peter Venkman: Dana and this guy are hearing things and Ray's seeing things... What's next?
- Egon Spengler: No. I see it, too... I recognize those markings... That's a sigil of... [groan] I can't remember.
- [tremble, gasps: 6 instances, feet shuffling: 7 instances]
- Guardian: What was that?
- Ray Stantz: Look! The pathways are lighting up!
- Winston Zeddemore: Is it Gozer? Again?!
- Egon Spengler: No! That's impossible. That sigil... It belongs to... [groan] Why can't I remember?!
- Peter Venkman: Try, Egon!
- Egon Spengler: That's it, Peter! You're a genius! That's the sigil of Trigon!
- Ray Stantz: Oh [expletive]!
- Peter Venkman: ... [pause, chuckle] Yeah, like I said... "Trigon". [scoff] I knew that!
- Dana Barrett: Who's Trigon?
- Peter Venkman: Uh...
- Egon Spengler: He's bad news!
- Winston Zeddemore: Gozer bad?!
- Egon Spengler: ...
- Ray Stantz: We should get off this rooftop... like now.
- [rapid squishy footsteps: 5 instances, rapid footsteps: 2 instances]
- [silence: 12 seconds]
- [infernal shrieks: multiple instances, infernal crackle, infernal schism, bellowing laughter, infernal crackle]
- Trigon: FINALLY. NOW BEGINS MY REIGN. I AM TRIGON. KING OF LIMBO AND NOW HELL ON EARTH!
